Hannan is one of only a handful of exploration companies to use the method globally;\nThe survey has the potential to propel understanding of the regional geology of the Clare Basin in a technological way, not previously possible. The survey aims to map subsurface structures that may host mineral deposits, allowing for highly effective drill targeting when used in combination with other data.\n\nMr. Michael Hudson, CEO and Chairman, states: \"The application of an innovative technology such as seismic to our exploration program provides Hannan the opportunity to greatly accelerate discovery rate at our County Clare zinc project.  Hannan is one of few hard rock companies to apply seismic surveying to mineral exploration globally. The geological data collected will allow our geological experts to identify...
